Pence has been a front-runner for a while. Most people think it'll be Pence or Gingrich, with Mike Flynn (the general) or Chris Christie as possible wildcards. Christie, though, is supposedly angling more for an attorney general position in a Trump administration, rather than a vice presidential post.
Though, to be fair, pretty much any mainstream Republican would face the same dilemma. Republicans have had to spend a year blinking incredulously at the crazy things Trump has said--now one of them gets to pretend that Trump was sane all along. Unless Trump zogs when people expect him to either zig or zag and selects Sarah Palin. That would be the best thing ever. Palin wouldn't have to worry about any embarrassing recanting.
Read this piece by Charles Pierce. It's a blast of righteous fury with many great quotes: http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a46695/donald-trump-candidacy-american-democracy/
isnt chris christie that bitch that banned big gulps but is like 900 lbs? fuck me i could have swore he was a democrat. now i hate myself.
I'm still hoping for Ivanka, myself, but Sarah would be acceptable. And it could happen - she's not on the speaker list because Alaska is 'too far away'. Could be an unsubtle cover story. barfo
